"Our Responsibility to a NeedyWorld" has been the theme forthis years Week of Prayer. Thelast of six talks by Dr. Clifford Bar.bour will be given in the chapel thisevening. Tomorrow there will be acommunion service, and Sundaymorning the week will close with asermon by Dr. Douglass.

Besides the chapel services, stu'dents have taken part in discussiongroups in the dormitories and manyhave had personal interviews withDr. Barbour.

A Week of Prayer has beensponsored-fo- r many years by theBoard of Christian Education ofthe Presbyterian Church on everycampus of the denomination. Thiswas originally a

"program of re'

vival meetings, and was usuallymanaged by the faculty and admin'istration.

The students have taken moreinterest in this week during thelast decade on the Wooster campus,and the Big Four was organized asa coordination of all the religiousgroups on the campus to take overthis project.

Dreaming of a White Christmas?THERE are myriad angles from which to look at Christmas. The

.' more you think about it, the more you can find. And the.way that

you look at it governs in good measure the way you celebrate it orwhat it means to you.

For example, there is the holiday angle. Lots of gay decorations,like mistletoe, silver bells, pine or balsam, bright colored lights, tallpoinsettia plants. Delicacies to eat fruit cake, assorted cookies,

puddings, candies things which only make their appearance at thistime. A time of fun and laughter, of merrymaking, a time of cheer,a time of happiness. "

Or you might consider the traditional angler The- - air of secrecythat pervades the atmosphere for weeks beforehand.. Mysteriouspackages hidden in odd corners. Stacks of Christmas cards to address,and the ever growing pile you receive. The exchange of gifts in gaywrappings. Hanging your stocking up by the fireplace every Christmaseve. Caroling to the sick and shut-in- ; The big turkey dinner- - the familyceremony every family usually has its own set of traditions alongthat line. In Wooster, it is Dr. Lean's reading of the Dickens ChristmasCarol, and, as it was in prewar days, the Christmas dance, which someof you will remember.

'

.

And then there is the religious angle. The special Advent servicesthejast few weeks leading up to Christmas. The candlelight serviceat midnight on Christmas Eve. The renewing of ' acquaintance withthe story as it is given to you in the Bible and with the many carolsand hymns that have come down to us. The spiritual reawakeningthat possibly it might bring to you. An attempt to bring your lives

closer to God by helping those less fortunate than you.

Today the meaning of Christmas is intensified as never before.The fast-movin-g events of the world have made us look deep into thethings that mean a lot to us to see if they, are worth the struggle andsacrifice entailed to keep them in our life. And whether we are trimminga Christmas tree or, carrying Christmas dinner to needy families, thereis always the inner urge to make every minute count, to keep only thethings that are really worthwhile close to us until "we "can "use themin their rightful places in the new world that will come out ofthis present conflict of ideas and. ideals..'

You can look at it as Scrooge did just another day lost whenwork might be done. You can look at it as a day given over to selfishpleasures. You can look at it as a day when you can help especially some,one in need. And this Christmas will be a lonely one for many peoplewho have lost loved ones or are far away

,from them they will need

cheering up more than ever. Yes, there are lots of ways to look atChristmas how do you?

Just a SuggestionTHE WEEK OF PRAYER is drawing to a close. Because of the

discussion groups organized jpy the Big Four and led by studentsand because of the stimulating chapel talks and evening addresses,we have got some of

. our ideas about religion out of their secludedstorage cabinets, brushed them off, and added a bit to them. Nowwhat are we going to do? We may return them to our attic to rotuntil the first week of December next year.

- But may we suggest that we keep them out in the open and thinkabout our philosophy of life in a sensible manner. By exchanging viewsand by fostering discussions we may be able to obtain a workableformula of Christianity. '

.'.

This formula should be our ultimate aim. Unless our ideas helpus to live more useful lives they are not worthwhile. Our religion isjudged by others, not ly what we think, but by what we do. Outideas," therefore, must have thevdynamic , force

"

tomake us"

betterChristians: to compel us to fight for freedom of religion, freedom ofspeech, freedom from want, and freedom from fear for everyone.Our formula must help us make the world better for others.

This week with the aid of Dr. Barbour our ideas have increasedand developed. Let us continue to grow in knowledge and stature.

By E. S. N.How shall we achieve world peace

and security? Shall we "strip" Ger-many of all her factories and makeit economically impossible for herto compete again in world markets?Shall we punish her without regardfor possible injurious results to ourselves? I don't think so. Our primary goal is not punishment forGermany. The goal for which wemust all strive is world peace; punishment of Germany is importantonly in so far as it helps us towardthat goal.

Germany's, punishment is sure.How much and what form thosereprisals may take is, however, amatter still to be decided. Let usdivide reprisals into two groups,those against men, criminal trialand punishment; those "against na-

tions, economic and political repris-als. The first, those against men, Ibelieve, wise and effective, andleading toward our goal of peaceand security. The second, economicand political reprisals against nations, I believe shortsighted and in-

effective, and leading away fromand not toward our world of peaceand security.

No Economic Reprisals

Successful advance is oftencoupled with precautionary backward glances. In the last war Ger-many was the target of overwhelming political and economic reprisals.Her war leaders were allowed to goscot free. I submit that this timeeconomic and political reprisals willonly serve to lengthen any periodof world reconstruction,. We shouldinstead have a period-o- f punishment for the leaders and similarmodified personal punishment forthe German people.

Economic Foolishness

Reparations in the last war werefoolish enough, I believe. But thepolicy of economic, exclusion whichfollowed was sheer insanity. Thepolicy, in its stark simpleness-a- nd

I don't mean simple to imply notcomplex , was like a swiftly moving merry-go-roun- d going no placeand making a lot of noise doing it.First w e demanded reparations,then we refused German goods.

Germany then asked for loans with

one hand and handed those loanshack Jo usas. reparations with theother. We demanded democraticforms of government in Germanyand at the same time made it eco-- ii

It is time for us to decide howimportant economic and politicalsanctions are, when weighedagainst their effect on an ultimateone world. We must decide wheth-- .

er Germany sick or healthy canbest achieve our goal. I believethere is much truth in the sayingthat one rotten apple can contam-

inate the whole bushel. A sick Ger-

many means a sick Europe.

I believe we can both punishGermany, as she so richly deserves,and at the same, time maintain hereconomically and politically able totake -- her rightful place among thenations.

By STAN MORSE

With football fading out of thepicture now, all eyes turn to bas-ketba- ll,

and especially for all Woos'terites, on the Ohio Conference.We hear from all sides of us aboutthe Ohio Conference, just what isit? If you ask someone they beataround the bush a while and thengive you some answer that doesn'tmean a thing. Well, that's the OhioConference, it doesn't mean much.

A few prominent coaches get to'gether at Columbus and draw upcertain rules and regulations andsay that all the colleges in the Con'ference have to abide by theserules. If they break any of the rules,they are bounced from the Con'ference, or suspended, but thatdoesn't seem to do much good.

A few years ago, some schoolsprominent in the Ohio Conference,including Bowling Green, weresuspended a year for a misdeed.This didn't seem to faze them andput them in their place as "it wasintended to, but on the contrary,forced them to schedule games withlarger and higher rated schools andconsequently added to their pres'tige. Bowling Green in particularhas been scheduling games withlarger schools continually, and hasbeen making a name for herself,which doesn't hurt her in the least.

SRORTS

Last year Wooster tied withCapital for the "Conferencecrown". So what? Admitted thatit was an honor for the school, butjust what did it do for Wooster?

How did the officials of theConference reach the decision thatWooster and Capital were tied forthe championship? The Scots didn'teven play Capital last year andCapital played different teams thanwe did and still it was claimed OhioConference.

If there must be such a thing asthe Ohio Conference, and thereshould be, it shouldn't be on sucha grand scale, and shouldn't includesuch poor, outclassed teams as Hir'am, Findlay,. and the like. Theschools in a certain class shouldplay schools in that class, and forma league or conference of theirown.

This Ohio Conference has beena common gripe among many peo'pie in - this area, -- and somethingshould be done. Of course, somestandards should be set up, but notsuch iron'dad ruling, and not sucha way to fill schedules.

Well, another semester has cometo a close, and as far as sports goes,it wasn't too good as far as theScots were concerned. The only

meeting of football coaches in Co- -

umbus, he was the one thatbrought up the idea of having foot'ball referees wear a distinctive dressso they wouldn't be mistaken forplayers." That is how the refereesare now wearing the black andwhite stripes.

ing by now? No doubt youve nothad too much trouble with the temale half but as for fathers, broth'ers, and sweethearts, their gifts al-

ways present a problem.

For the kid brother how are thesesuggestions a Texas Ranger leather neck belt. It's a tooled leatheraffair that looks like a real cowboys and is sure to please the heartof a bov. They are $2.00. Have youever thought of heavy gray and red

... woolen hunting sox at just 69c a

pair? Or perhaps plain or fancyknitted skating mittens at $1'$1.50a pair. - -

For Dad, Freedlanders have a

large and lovely collection of woolen and silk mufflers that are $2.50to $2.95. Loads of styles and col'ors. Even though it is sort of astanding joke, nevertheless necktiesare a welcome gift at Christmas ifthey are well chosen. Any style orcolor combination can be found atFreedlanders, and they will costyou anywhere from $1.00 to $2.50.

For both your dad, older brother,or sweetheart a nice tobacco mixingkit would be appropriate which canbe found for $1.00 on Freedlandersmain floor along with all other im'aginable smokers equipment.

Last but not least there is theman in the service whose giftsshould be sent out immediately!Perhaps he would appreciate thenewly created but nevertheless popular "foxhole pillow" that weighsjust 3 oz. and fits into his helmet.At least it is a gift that is differentand its price is $2:00. Freedlandersalso have a nice stock of varioustypes of military kits both fitted

v.. an unfitted at almost any price.If you are planning to send justmoney to your blue star man whydon't you include a money belt forits safe keeping. It would only cost$1.00 but it may save, many timesits worth. -
